After what seems like a very quick break South football is back this weekend with a full fixture list of South of Scotland League matches.

There are three new clubs in the league set-up with Dumfries YMCA and Upper Annandale joining from the now defunct Dumfries Amateur League and Edusports Academy who will play their matches in Hamilton.

The YMCA team kick-off their league campaign with a home match against near neighbours Heston Rovers while Upper Annandale meet Fleet Star at Moffat. Edusports will test their skills against Mid-Annandale at Galabank.

Abbey Vale meet St Cuthbert Wanderers at New Abbey while Crichton start their season with a contest against Creetown.

Nithsdale Wanderers play hosts to Newton Stewart and Wigtown and Bladnoch and Lochar Thistle play each other at Trammondford.

There are six league matches scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, July 30, with last seasons champions Wigtown and Bladnoch locking horns with last seasons runners up St Cuthbert Wanderers at Trammondford for a match that could go either way but one that could well set a marker for the season ahead.

Abbey Vale have a another home match when they play hosts to Lochar Thistle while Crichton also play again at home this time against Nithsdale Wanderers. YMCA also find themselves at home for their second match of the season when they meet Mid-Annandale with Newton Stewart playing hosts to Heston Rovers at Blairmount Park.

Two new clubs Upper Annandale and Edusports will fight it out at Moffat.

On Thursday evening Fleet Star play hosts to neighbours Creetown for what should be a good contest.
